Chapter 628: Surviving Death

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Ran was running as fast as his legs could carry him . All of a sudden, the sight of a red cloud appeared in the distance below . It was the creature that resembled a donkey or horse .

Chen Ran stopped his flight, but the red cloud monster was already on its way up to strike him at an alarming speed .

Chen Ran's long grey hair all stood up and a windstream began to form around his body, circling him . He jumped ten meters into the air and dodged the incoming attack . He spun around like a pigeon in the air, jumped once more on the air itself, and landed ten meters away from his foe . Then he started running once more .

This entire scene played out over the course of a second . It was flawless, and it went without a hitch . The strength of the Chen family was impressive .

The creature did not return its attention to Chen Ran, but instead turned to look at Queen . As it exhaled, red clouds emerged from its mouth .

Streaks of a purple flame danced out of Queen's eyes and her body was cloaked in the same wreaths of purple light . She evaded the monster and proceeded to run downhill .

The creature looked as if it recognized Queen . It traced her with its eyes and followed her on her descent without paying heed to anyone else .

Han Sen could do little but frown . Their worst-case scenario was coming to life . He did not know what Queen did to elicit the creature's attention, but it was intently locked onto her, with no desire of chasing anyone else . The situation they were in had gone from bad to worse .

Another scream erupted from behind, signifying another headless evolver . With more bodies dropping and two super creatures now targeting them, their hope of survival was quickly diminishing .

All of a sudden, Han Sen saw Queen turn to flee in a different direction . Abandoning their route, it looked as if she desired to lead the creature away from the rest .

Han Sen was taken aback by her noble deed . But not wanting to leave her alone, Han Sen turned to follow .

The people behind Han Sen did not come with him, and they remained on their current route, being chased by the raven .

Han Sen ignored them and focused his attention on giving pursuit to the red-cloud donkey, as fast as he could .

The red-cloud donkey was a scary foe, but at least you could watch its attacks and dodge them if the need arose . The same could not be said for the raven . But with Han Sen and Queen now preoccupied with the donkey, it was unlikely the raven would follow them . It would instead opt for the greater party that was fleeing in a straight line down the mountain . By trading one foe for a lesser foe, Han Sen and Queen had a chance of making it out alive .

For Queen to come up with this idea in the midst of their current situation was impressive, and this ability to come up with such a strong strategy on the fly was an invaluable asset .

As Queen continued to run, so too did the red-cloud donkey . Han Sen was not far behind . It wasn't long before they were a fair distance from Chen Ran and his people, who had now disappeared beyond a ridge on the trail they followed .

It was a grand relief for the raven not to continue following the other party . Clearly, it had allowed for the donkey to take care of Queen and Han Sen .

Han Sen was immeasurably happy that they had figured a way out of their predicament . The red-cloud donkey was clearly inferior in power to the raven . The predictability of its attacks and movements was particularly helpful . This was far better than dealing with the warping raven .

Queen used Heavenly Go to keep changing her direction as she fled, dodging the donkey over and over again . She may not have been able to fight back, but at least she wasn't going to be killed .

As Han Sen followed, he witnessed the clouds of the donkey begin to rise and mask itself . Its shape now started to resemble a horse built from puffy clouds . All of a sudden, it jumped a whole ten meters and arrived behind Queen .

Its sudden acceleration disrupted the rhythm of Queen's Heavenly Go . Although she was still able to avoid the donkey's attacks, the gap that had been closed meant she could no longer escape from it . The situation looked bad .

Han Sen jumped on top of the red-cloud donkey . While airborne, he summoned his peacock crossbow and loaded a Z-class bolt from his quiver . With great speed, he fired three bolts at the donkey .

Three Z-class bolts became three flashes of explosive wrath, striking the donkey in separate spots . Without sparing time to look at the results, he leapt off the donkey and resumed his run .

The red-cloud donkey squealed as the three bolts hit, and it screamed when the fire ravaged its body . They may not have torn its skin, but they were powerful enough to damage it .

The red-cloud donkey expelled air from its nostrils in anger and turned around to chase after Han Sen . The red clouds were terrifying and in three steps, it had managed to get behind him .

Han Sen's skills were not inferior to Queen's, but they weren't much stronger . Han Sen stopped running to handle the donkey .

With the time Han Sen had bought her, Queen managed to gain a decent lead . She turned around and shouted towards the donkey . When it heard her voice, its eyes turned red again and it resumed its pursuit of her .

Neither of the two could compete with the donkey, but with both of them drawing its attention back and forth, the donkey remained confused and distracted . It ran between them, growing increasingly angry . Further and further Han Sen and Queen went, with neither of them sustaining a single wound .

But no matter what they did, they couldn't lose their tail . They could not harm it, either, for its skin was incredibly tough . Escaping it through speed alone was impossible .

"This isn't going too well . If the raven killed the rest and decides to make its way over to us, we're dead too!" Han Sen shouted to Queen .

"There is no other option," Queen answered, not displaying a single flicker of emotion .

"Do you remember the bones of the guardian hound? Creatures never dare approach it within a kilometer . Perhaps we should attempt to reach there?" Han Sen suggested .

"Sure," Queen answered without hesitation . She aligned her destination to the garden of bones they had visited on their ascent .

Although they were unsure whether or not it could repel super creatures, it was worth a try . Their options were fairly limited, after all . They merely hoped that they were able to reach their proposed sanctuary before the raven had finished picking off the rest .

And in regards to the red-cloud donkey, despite its anger and power, it was little more than a pest if they cooperated together .

Because they had departed the trail they took to ascend the mountain, they had to run around for a while to find where the bones lay .

Fortunately, the donkey continued to kick and scream the entire way, which frightened off any other creatures that might have dared to interrupt their baiting of the hellish mule . It saved them a lot of trouble .

And luckily, their worst fear did not materialize . By the time they reached the remains of the guardian hound, the raven remained out of sight .

But when Han Sen breached the kilometer radius of the bones, the donkey did not break off its pursuit . It still chased them with the same fervor it always had, which made Han Sen and Queen furrow their brows in unison .
